My parents have a yammy HTIB thats been around for about 10 years or so. I talked them into upgrading receivers two years ago to accommodate the digital formats. Blah blah... Their sub has always pretty well sucked. Its a small 80 watt 8 inch "module" that extends somewhere in the 30's and the output is mediocre. Anyway, it blew up. Pops wanted a new sub and cruised by best buy... He decided his budget was around 600 or so. Mom wanted something reasonably small. They dont know what "bass" is.
Ok, make a short story long... I had ordered a couple of the eclipse sw8200s a while back while they were still in stock. I ordered mom and dad the premade 3cuft box from PE and the 500 watt bash amp. Got it put together and took it by their house while they were at church this morning and got it all set up.
Dad called, I could hear the grin on his face. Mom is not happy with the size or dad's apparent need to shake the dishes. She did say it sounded great though and was much more enjoyable than the "boom machine" they used to have.
I'll post some pictures in the DIY. Its a nice sub....
